Quentin Tarantino has insisted he plans to retire after his next film.
The acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker, famous for films such as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained, has long said he will call it a day after his tenth project.
His last film, 2019's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, was his ninth release.
The 58-year-old appeared on Real Time With Bill Maher where he reiterated his desire to walk away from the director's chair.
He said: "I know film history and from here on in, filmmakers do not get better. I don't have a reason that I would want to say out loud, that’s going to win any argument in a court of public opinion or supreme court or anything like that.
"At the same time, working for 30 years doing as many movies as I’ve done, it’s not as many as other people, but that’s a long career. That’s a really long career."
He added to cheers from the audience: "And I've given it everything I have, every single solitary thing I have."
Tarantino, who has won best original screenplay Oscars for Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained, also revealed that he considered remaking his 1992 crime thriller Reservoir Dogs for his final film but has since decided against it.
"I won't do it, internet," he said. "But I considered it."
The director lives in Israel with his wife Daniella Pick and their one-year-old son Leo.
